Today I watched someone rapidly typing Command-Period over and over in an attempt to stop a script running Script Editor. The script kept activating other applications, so it took several tries to get the Command-Period to go to Script Editor. If a script could say “I'm going to be controlling this computer”, not only would a blocking window prevent user interference, it could provide an easy way to stop the script without struggling to get the right application in front first.

Make that: “…a script running in Script Editor.”
